Active Watching: Romeo + Juliet
Dialogue
Capulet:
Is she not proud? Doth she not count her blessed,
Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought
So worthy a gentleman to be her bride?
Juliet:
Not proud you have, but thankful that you have.
Proud can I never be of what I hate,
But thankful even for hate that is meant love.
Capulet:
How, how, how, hot? Chopped logic? What is this?
“Proud,” and “I thank you,” and “I thank you not,”
And yet, “not proud”? Mistress minion you,
Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds,
But fettle your fine joints ‘gainst Thursday next
To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church,
Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither.
Takes place in Act 3.
Relevant part of the play because it demonstrates patriarchal power.
Capulet is willing to force his 14 year old daughter to marry a significantly older man.
When she refuses, he insults and calls her names.
Represents the society during Shakespeare’s time - men were the dominant gender,
women were subservient.
This is seen in a lot of his plays:
oMacbeth: Lady Macbeth cannot act the same way Macbeth can, she can’t commit
the crime herself because she isn’t a man.
